Bio

Appearance

Waon has short, spiky, light blue hair and blue eyes. She is often seen in her school uniform even when there's no school.

Personality

Waon is a sporty, and energetic friend of Hibiki's. She isn't very good at studying but makes up for it with her optimistic nature. She is very obediant to Hibiki, and shows up whenever she whistles or gets called for.

History

Waon was first seen in SPC01. She was playing soccer with Hibiki and the others. Hibiki scored a goal and Waon and the others were impressed with her skills.

In SPC11, Hibiki and Kanade were trying to participate in a music talent show. However on that day, they forgot to bring the piano for their performance. Luckily, an old man is willing to lend a piano to them. However, Hibiki and Kanade alone cannot carry the piano all the way from his house to the contest. Waon suddenly appears, telling Hibiki that she is always there whenever she needs help. She then asks people to help them move the piano. With the help of Waon and the others, the two of them can finally perform on stage.

In episode 30, when Hibiki needs help studying, she comes to help her. After telling Hibiki about the harmonizing wolves from the night before, we learn that she sucks at studying, like Hibiki, though she oddly seems to be proud of it.

Etymology

西島 - (Nishijima) The 西 (Nishi) in Waon's last name means west, whereas the 島 (Shima) means island, so her last name can be roughly translated to The West Island.

和音- (Waon) Her first name Waon means Chord, which would fit with the musical theme.

Attack

Waon Hyper Special Shoot - An attack which is only used in episode 41 which doesn't need magic but only requires a soccer ball. She takes some strength and than shoots the ball towards the enemy (Bassdrum) to keep him away from Fary which had the note he needed.

Trivia

She seems to follow the Pretty Cure tradition of other minor characters that are on sports teams with one of the main characters.

Her short, somehat spiky hair and love of sports is similar to Natsuki Rin.

Early production notes showed a character with a similar design to Waon named Nishio Uta who was labelled as Cure Beat. It is likely that the idea was scrapped and Uta's design was given to Waon.
